**The North American Blueberry Council is pleased with the release of the Make America Healthy Again Commission's strategy report, “Make our Children Healthy Again.”
NABC President Kasey Cronquist says the council applauds the administration for pursuing decisive actions that will improve health outcomes for Americans, most importantly, our children.
NABC strongly supports USDA’s focus on whole, healthy foods and sees tremendous promise in MAHA’s recommendations, including the Food Box for SNAP participants.
**Food security is estimated to improve in 2025 in most of the 83 countries included in the Global Food Assessment, published annually by USDA.
In 2025, per capita incomes in the GFA countries are projected to grow by 3.7% and food price inflation is expected to ease.
With this improved food access, the number of food-insecure people is estimated to decrease more than 26%.

Burgess says the collapse is largely driven by record-high butterfat levels on U.S. dairy farms which has led to an abundance of cream and a surge in butter production.
